Chapter 63: The Noble Man (I)
Houtu, this world also has Houtu
The sky is yang, the earth is yin, and the earth is only the female god who dominates the mountains and rivers of the earth.
"Taizu sacrifices to the earth, and will be served in the future", this is the record of Chu Taizu's sacrifice to the earth in this dynasty, but there is no record of her incarnating the six realms and sheltering all sentient beings, but simply the goddess of the earth.
And, for the people, the Houtu Temple is not common, Fang Xin also learned from the county records, outside the city on Fengtun Mountain, there is a Houtu Temple.
After learning that, although there were still eight days before the county middle school examination, Jiangfu was the county seat, so there was no need to run far, so he immediately said to his mother He Shi and went out.
Out of the city, hired an ox cart, of course the ox cart is slow, although Fengtun Mountain is not very far, but it also took two hours, I can't help but sigh in my heart: "It seems that in ancient times, traffic was really a big problem, out of the city is so, let alone the world?" It is no wonder that most of the people who can travel around the country are handsome. ”
Walked to Fengtun Mountain, found that the mountain is not high, about 300 meters, the stone pavilion under the mountain, has been full of people, there are tea sellers on the stone pavilion, travelers can pay a penny, buy a cup of coarse tea to quench their thirst.
In the center of the pavilion, there is a group of Confucian people, and in the middle is a middle-aged man in his forties, but the stars surround him like the moon, sometimes calling him "adult", which is obviously an official body.
Fang Xin naturally couldn't step forward to disturb him, these people were all in Tsing Yi, and they were obviously famous, compared to Fang Xin at this time, the gap between their own rank and identity was under a tree quite far away from the pavilion. I found a stone and sat down, paid a penny, and bought a cup of coarse tea, this cup is a bamboo cup, Fang Xin drank it, the entrance was bitter, but then there was some fragrance, it was not a good tea, but it quenched his thirst.
At this time, the lord in the pavilion. He was sitting at the only stone table, and seemed to be talking about something, although Fang Xin could hear it at this time, he didn't want to use God. I heard a piece of talk by chance, it was nothing more than a trip to the mountain, and I took this opportunity to open a poetry meeting, presumably this adult is very important, so these talents can be flattered.
Fang Xin didn't care about him. When the cup of tea was finished, he got up and went up the mountain, and there were stone steps on the mountain, and he went up along the stone steps, and saw some wild trees and wild flowers on both sides, scattered among them.
There are no people in the empty mountains, and there are orchids.
The flowers are not visible, and the fragrance is clear and beautiful.
Flying down the river. There are crosswinds from time to time.
The incense has not been smelled for a long time, and the mountain is deeply sad.
The grass is green, and the Ming Dynasty is bright.
How close to it, as if it were the end of the world.
Aikoto sits on the white rock. Sunset sighed.
I don't know why, Fang Xintu remembered this poem, and immediately read it, although he felt this poem, he even forgot the author's name. Fang Xin touched his head. It must have been seen by chance on Earth, otherwise it wouldn't have been. Because he remembered everything very clearly in the future.
However, there is no one in the empty mountain, the flowers and plants bloom spontaneously, it is really indescribably lonely, only to feel that these flowers and plants, like most people's lives, are too short, disappear in a blink of an eye, or indulge in life, so as not to appreciate today, wither tomorrow, or pursue eternity, to be eternal, feel in the heart, and naturally come out casually.
But I don't want an old man, who is slowly going up with people, hearing this poem, I was shocked, and then went up, but I only saw a young man, just looking at his back, plump and elegant, and there is a calm and heavy, and his heart is moving, and in turn he asked a middle-aged man: "Sir, what do you think of this son?" ”
"It's weird, if you just look at its qi, its brilliance is blazing, its qi is extraordinary, and it is unicorn-shaped, but looking at its face and bones, it is just an ordinary official body." The middle-aged man was silent, and then said.
"Haha, it's rare that Mr. Yan also has someone who can't be broken for a while, it's really interesting, I didn't expect to meet today, so what do you think of the people under the mountain?"
Speaking of the people under the mountain, Mr. Yan said indifferently: "These people, their qi and face are compatible, among the sixteen people, nine of them have official bodies and appearances, some futures, and six people have no special chances, so far it has stopped, and the last person will be killed in a few years, see if he can get through it." ”
The next mouth decides life, straight in the words.
"So, that's really interesting." The old man smiled at the moment.
Fang Xin didn't know that there was this episode, he was still going straight up the mountain, but when he got to the mountain, he was taken aback, it turned out that there was no Houtu Temple, but it was a Buddhist temple, built magnificently and gorgeously, and a large number of flowers and trees were planted around for visitors to enjoy.
Many people are the whole family, with their families, leisurely visit the temple, not only become a Buddha, but also can spend a leisurely day, so the pilgrims are like a stream, a steady stream.
Fang Xin didn't expect to see this temple, frowned, but only felt the light of the Buddha, smiled at the moment, looking at the dim light of the Buddha in this temple, he knew that the disciples inside were really intoxicated with incense and money, there were no people who worshiped the Buddha devoutly, and there were no monks who concentrated on cultivation.
Then through the light of the Houtu in his body, he sensed the same kind, but he still really sensed it, and turned to the side of the back mountain at the moment, and sure enough, he found a dilapidated Houtu Ancestral Hall, which showed that there was very little incense, but a little spiritual light was endless, Fang Xin went in, but saw an old man.
"Do you want to incense your mother?" The old man asked, speaking in the local dialect, Fang Xin barely understood, he looked at the old man, but found a little spiritual light connected, knowing that if there was not this person, then the earth shrine would be abolished.
As the goddess of the Houtu, who incarnates the six realms, holds the power of the earth, and holds the door of life and death, it is unbelievable that the incense is withering like this, and the next letter said: "Is there lamp oil and water?" ”
"Yes!"
"Bring it!" Fang Xin said, he tore off a piece of clothing, and when he saw that he brought half a basin of water, he frowned, and the old man said: "This good man, it's not that I'm stingy, the water is transported to the mountains, and I want money, but now the incense is not good, I'm old, I can't afford the water by myself, and I don't have money, it's just so much." Fang Xin sneered, didn't say anything, soaked the cloth, carefully wiped the god case, wiped the mud body again, and saw that the gold body was peeled off, so he wiped the lamp oil again, poured the oil in, and lit it.
"Dust to dust, dust to earth, soul to the earth after, however, thou needest not suffer and sorrow, death is the cycle of life, without the slightest concealment, hypocrisy, darkness.
I have incarnated the six realms so that you will not dissipate and fall. The Tao never despises, it is for the sake of mixed elements, looking down from the high, there is no need to despise, the high does not exist to abandon the low, but only to protect and guide, to let you know that you are the eternal seed, but I am your parents, to guide you to the path of true righteousness, before that, I want to live and protect you.
This wish is my great deed, and it is also my fundamental method. ”
Fang Xin prayed silently, and suddenly, the holy power of the back earth of this body resonated with a little spiritual light in the idol in front of him, this light was only one line at the beginning, and then it slowly thickened until it was added to the idol.
However, Fang Xin still controls the luminosity, this world will really be visible, it will be very amazing to attract too much holy light, at the moment, it is controlled that the holy light is concentrated in the invisible range of the naked eye, and it is mostly concentrated in this small space.
After a while, the idol flickered, and a ball of holy light resided in it, apparently returning to normal, Fang Xin opened his eyes, but saw the old man "poof" and knelt on the ground.
"You serve Niangniang first, after a while, I will find a way to get a sum of money for you to rebuild the golden body and the temple, now this two money, you can take it first!" Although he attracted the holy light of Houtu, Fang Xin did not have the slightest joy.
When I went out and returned to the front mountain, I saw the people who worshiped the Buddha, wearing new clothes, helping the old and the young, the face was full of joy, the original Dharma was being held, the novice held the bell and played, walked slowly, and there were monks holding incense burners, cigarette smoke, it was completely different, Fang Xin had no opinion on the Buddha, but in comparison, it was still gloomy.
I didn't want to look at it anymore, Fang Xin went down the mountain, passing through a bamboo forest, at this time in August, it was late summer, but Fang Xin's sweat did not exist, although this body could not have a third order, but the condensation of holy power could also be the same.
The sound of chanting in the temple on the mountain can be faintly heard, the forest is full of flowers, green bamboo is like green, there is a kind of faint and quiet beauty, and when going down the mountain, on the mountain path, there are seven or eight people slowly going up, but it is a group of old people just now.
When he went up the mountain, he didn't pay attention, and when he went down the mountain, Fang Xin's eyes swept away, and he was surprised, everyone in front of him was not simple, especially the old man, purple faintly.
There are also many kinds of purple gas, but this person, some of them are extravagant.
This kind of extravagance is very rare, as long as there is a trace, it can be rich, if it is like the old man, at least it is the position of the marquis.
Fang Xin didn't want to do much, so he avoided the roadside at the moment, at this time, there was an ancient pine on the side of the road, and the pine tree happened to have a stone, so he sat on it, anyway, he was just white, and although the other party did not reveal his identity, he knew at a glance that he was both expensive and rich, and it was not sudden to avoid it.
Moreover, there is wind in the mountains and forests, and the wind blows, and the clothes are fluttering, even if Fang Xin is not affected by the heat, he also feels that this really makes people feel refreshed and happy, and gradually has the meaning of dust.
When the old man saw him, he smiled slightly and came over himself.
